about

A concept album about the transformative power of love, set against the backdrop of mythology and cosmos, to the metronome of the ancient beating heart of Earth...the images here are sky and sea juxtaposed, perceptive boundaries shifting, the interplay of shadow and light that creates all visible reality, cosmic paradigms reversing, the simple beauty of all things reverting to their source... it is also a geographical description of previously unexplored territory of mind discovered through hallucinogenic shamanism in the Amazon. The story is conceptualized as a reference to Ovid's Metamorphoses, one of the greatest allegorical descriptions of transformation and change ever composed by human hands, and the songs follow the course of its narrative.

The album artwork was designed in collaboration with Oklahoma artist Tiffany Nachelle Edwards.

When the 7 trees cast 7 shadows from the 7 hills
When the 7 vines wrap 7 times around your 7 minds
When the 7 crows read 7 scrolls from 7 thrones of pine
When the 7 owls shriek 7 howls then 7 moons will rise
7 moons will rise

Track Name: Heartswells

Let's crochet the colors of the summer in our skin and never speak of anything but this.
Let's lie here and let the trees cast shadows over us, and let our thoughts disintegrate to dust.

My heart swells like the harvest. It grows luminous like a garden.

Let us tread this treacherous topography of love, and levitate the liquid in our blood.
Let's unwind the spirals in the shell of a mollusk, and fade into the vivid hues of dusk.
Let's alliterate these lines that linger on our tongues, and stitch the stars together with our opposable thumbs.

My heart swells like a foxglove. It goes fluttering like a moth does.

Track Name: Soulvine Unto Pleiades

The stars are shivering tonight, anticipating our arrival.
We'll take a sip of that soul vine, shed our skin and become dragonflies. We'll set our sights to satellites. The Pleiades are looking mighty fine.

And when a tree grows, it casts a shadow to remind you.
And when the moon glows, it casts a shadow to remind you.

And when we come back down to earth, we'll plant our feet into the dirt. We'll watch our skin become wooden, and feel our fingers become leaves and limbs. The moss grows covering our eyes. The birds build homes in our branches. We'll cast our shadows from this hill until the continents collide.

Track Name: Selenology

Moon of silence, moon of stone,
How can I love thy light (you've got none of your own)?

Moon of spider, moon of crow,
Lifting our eyes with the allure of stolen glow
